NME1 is also found covalently modified by CoA (CoAlation) at Cys109 in the CoAlome analysis of HEK293/Pank1β cells treated with the disulfide-stress inducer, diamide. Further analysis showed that recombinant NME1 is efficiently CoAlated in vitro and in cellular response to oxidising agents and metabolic stress. In vitro CoAlation of recombinant wild type NME1, but not the C109A mutant, results in the inhibition of its NDPK activity. Moreover, CoA also functions as a competitive inhibitor of the NME1 NDPK activity by binding non-covalently to the nucleotide binding site. Taken together, our data reveal metastasis suppressor protein NME1 as a novel binding partner of the key metabolic regulator CoA, which inhibits its nucleoside diphosphate kinase activity via non-covalent and covalent interactions.Plant reproduction requires the coordinated development of both male and female reproductive organs. Jasmonic acid (JA) plays an essential role in stamen filament elongation. However, the mechanism by which the JA biosynthesis genes are regulated to promote stamen elongation remains unclear. Here, we show that the chromatin remodeling complex Imitation of Switch (ISWI) promotes stamen filament elongation by regulating JA biosynthesis. We show that AT-Rich Interacting Domain 5 (ARID5) interacts with CHR11, CHR17, and RLT1, several known subunits of ISWI. Mutations in ARID5 and RLTs caused a reduced seed set due to greatly shortened stamen filaments. RNA-seq analyses reveal that the expression of key genes responsible for JA biosynthesis is significantly down-regulated in the arid5 and rlt mutants. Consistently, the JA levels are drastically decreased in both arid5 and rlt mutants. Chromatin immunoprecipitation-quantitative PCR analyses further show that ARID5 is recruited to the chromatin of JA biosynthesis genes. Importantly, exogenous JA treatments can fully rescue the defects of stamen filament elongation in both arid5 and rlt mutants, leading to the partial recovery of fertility. Our results provide a clue how JA biosynthesisis positively regulated by the chromatin remodeling complex ISWI, thereby promoting stamen filament elongation in Arabidopsis.The aim of this article is to evaluate the early and late morbidities of the donor- and recipient-site in patients undergoing mandibular reconstruction using either vascularized fibular flap (VFF) or vascularized iliac flap (VIF). Electronic databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Central and Embase, were explored for literature published until October 2020. A total of twenty-four articles reporting complications following mandibular reconstruction surgery with follow-up periods ranging from six to 63 months were selected based on the exclusion criteria. For each research, the JBI Critical Assessment Tool and the ROBINS-I Tool were used to analyze the methodological quality and the risk of bias. A single-arm meta-analysis was performed to have a synthesized analysis of the donor- and recipient-site early and late morbidities. Results showed that the early morbidities in VFF group ranged from 3% to 12%, and the late morbidities in VFF group ranged from 5% to 67%. In VIF group, the early morbidities ranged from 3% to 16%, and the donor-site late morbidities ranged from 6% to 43%. Complications with the top three morbidities in the VFF group were chronic sensory disturbances at the donor-site (67%), malocclusion (22%) and chronic lower limb weakness (20%); and in the VIF group were chronic sensory disturbances at the donor-site (43%), chronic pain at the donor-site (26%), chronic gait disturbance (20%). Further controlled clinical trials are needed to assess the long-term outcome of VFF or VIF grafting.Video-reflexive ethnography (VRE) is a qualitative methodology that explores the complex nature of healthcare 'as it really is'. Its collaborative and reflexive process invites stakeholders (e.g. pharmacists and pharmacy support staff) to participate in analysing their everyday work practices as captured on video footage. Through close collaboration with practitioners and attention to their work contexts, VRE may be a useful methodology to engage a time-poor pharmacy workforce in research about themselves, encouraging more practitioner involvement in practice-based research. Aside from research, VRE has also been used effectively as an intervention to facilitate learning and change in healthcare settings, and could be effective in provoking change in otherwise resistant pharmacy environments. Much like traditional ethnographic approaches, VRE researchers have relied on being present 'in the field' to observe, record and make sense of practices with participants. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/mitopq.html The COVID-19 pandemic however, has introduced restrictions around travel and physical distancing, which has required researchers to contemplate the conduct of VRE 'at a distance', and to imagine new ways in which the methodological 'closeness' to stakeholders and their workplace contexts can be maintained when researchers cannot be on site. In this commentary, we outline the rationale for participatory methods, in the form of VRE, in pharmacy research. We describe the underlying principles of this innovative methodology, and offer examples of how VRE can be used in pharmacy research. Finally, we offer a reflexive account of how we have adapted the method for use in community pharmacy research, to adapt to physical distancing, without sacrificing its methodological principles. This paper offers not only a new methodology to examine the complexity of pharmacy work, but demonstrates also the responsiveness of VRE itself to complexity, and the potential breadth of future research applications in pharmacy both during and beyond the current pandemic.Qualitative research is a well-established branch of scientific enquiry that draws insights from experiences.Within social and administrative pharmacy research, interview and focus group methods are a mainstay of collecting data. However, other disciplines such as sociology, psychology and anthropology, use existing data that is routinely to provide a substance for qualitative inquiry. Drawing on our experiences of using interdisciplinary research methods, this paper presents three case studies where textual data was qualitatively analysed and critically examines the strengths and weaknesses of these method in relation to pharmacy practice.
Three case studies were selected that access different types of existing, routinely collected data from pharmacy practice. This included 1) a study utilising boardroom meeting minutes, 2) a study using incident reports and 3) a study using WhatsApp messages as data. Each case study is described and critically examined. The strengths and weaknesses of this approach are based on our own reflections of completing the studies.
